The show will be set up in two timelines where “in the present, a 10-year-old Amy (Saniyya) seems to have special powers that allow her to communicate with “virals,” terrifying monsters that once were human. Through flashbacks, Amy tells her tale, which is directly tied to the genesis of these creatures.”

The TV show will be based off of Justin Cronin‘s 2010 best-selling book of the same title.
